strong or leaning president obama's way. anderson, if the president were to win ohio and win florida and the polls show him leading right now, game over. there's nothing else he has to do if the map doesn't change. >> amazing how it boils down to that. gloria, the president holds very strong numbers on the economy interestingly enough in these states, in particular he polls high on the question who better understands the financial problems that people are facing and that's despite the fact that those polls feel the country's on the wrong track. what does that say to you? >> well, it says what the president has done is he's connected with people to let them know he's on their side. that's a key thing to do in a presidential race. does this president understand my economic problems. even though they believe that the country is headed on the wrong track, those numbers are high, but they're not as high as they were, say, six months ago, and what this also says to me is that they bought the bill clinton argument from the conventi

i don't think by much, because president obama right now is in a very strong position. >> what do you think mitt romney needs to do? >> oh, i think mitt romney needs to talk about failure and success. mitt romney may not be the perfect candidate, but this president doesn't have much in the way of accomplishments, especially when it comes to this economy. he has to say look, barack obama, you may have succeeded as a politician but you haven't succeeded as a president. i know what it takes to succeed in life, i've done it a lot in business creating growth and jobs. let's talk about that. >> it does seem in the last couple days his campaign has been kind of trying to make him seem like a warmer guy. i mean, that photo -- >> hes loosened his tie, taken it off. he's laughed a little more. the job for mitt romney clearly is to get in the ring, get in the arena and to show that he can handle these tough issues. he hasn't been specific. he has to avoid talking about taxes, has to avoid talking about the 47%. he has to play offense. and president obama has to make sure that he doesn't play pre

the obama campaign which had stumbles early on is performing and executing pretty well right now, both in message discipline from the candidate and their tv advertisements which even republicans will tell you are better than the romney ads right now. so you add all that up, significant execution by the obama campaign, an advantage, little bump out of the convention, sure, some of is dissipated but these little things have the race and this is from republicans i talk to in swing states, trickling toward the president. is it irreversible? absolutely not. there are some people in washington who say this is over. forget what they say. there's a big debate next week. governor romney right now as we speak and ari might say he doesn't trust this poll either runs even with the incumbent democrat when voters are asked who do you most trust to handle the economy. if the challenger in this economy can't get a lead on the president on that question, he won't win. >> ari, do you agree with that, on that key question? >> well, it all comes down to the sample size and the poll. again, if the polls ov

right now, president obama is doing a wonderful job with his campaign and if i were a republican, without any sort of ethical standing, i probably would try something like this but the fact is i don't think it's going to work for most of the american people. i also think that people know that president obama was once affiliated with jeremiah wright and i don't think that this is going to go much further than a 24-hour news cycle. >> paul, do you see it being brought up at the debate tomorrow night? obviously this is being kind of revealed in a big way on the blogosphere on the eve of the debate. >> if i worked for mitt romney i would instruct him to bring it up. >> you would. >> bring it up to knock it down. to disavow it. in other words, romney, he had a really wonderful opportunity, remember when rush limbaugh said those hateful things about sandra fluke, that georgetown law student, he had a great opportunity to smack down the fanatical fringe. he didn't do it. it was a missed opportunity. doesn't mean romney agrees with the crazy things limbaugh said but he missed an opportunity to as
